KANGAROO PAW

Here's a flower on which I'm keen.
If this beauty you've never seen,
Well then, that's no wonder
'Cause it's mainly found down under
Where it blooms on Halloween.

MONEY

Money is of the same ilk
As is chocolate milk.
In my source referral,
I find it has no plural,
For it is a noun of bulk,

Yet it will be found
By those who check around
That, though it's kind of funny,
There's another kind of money
That is a counting noun.

OUT-TO-LUNCH ROADS

When you're driving, it helps a bunch
To know your road is out to lunch.
Out-to-lunch roads are hard to drive
Unless you have a four-wheel drive.
At least that is my hunch.

LOG CABIN FOUND

In a house that you own,
Abandoned and alone,
How often does it happen
That you find a log cabin
That no one you know had known?

BADDER IN NEVADA

One in five owe more than their homes are worth.
Though that's no cause for mirth,
The situation is much badder
Out yonder in Nevada
Where half are in that berth.

GOOD DEED

Ms. Mock, I must concede,
Did a very kind deed.
And she did it for
Ms. Tracy Orr,
A lady who was in need.

After this good deed,
Ms. Mock holds the deed
(The deed to the house).
Yet Orr still has her house
(Which fills her need).

ELECTORAL COLLEGE

Is it preordained by God
Who will get the nod?
To the best of my knowledge,
The Electoral College
At best is a little odd.
